Max and Moritz residential buildings, Frankfurt, Germany
In Frankfurt's new Hilgenfeld district the concept of a mix of younger and older people, different modes of living and diverse facilities sets the scene as a new model for urban development to come in the Rhine-Main area. The design for Max and Moritz consists of two individual blocks, identical in typology and design, but differing in height. Together they create a gateway to a new area of the city, so the design also includes space for a "pioneering neighbourhood" information centre on the ground floor, where people can learn about current and impending projects in the area.
